Three ways to fix it
Ordered by what you give up.
Option 1 · Leave it alone−0
Nothing. Around 315 calories with protein and probiotics in it.
Not every dish needs fixing. This one is fine as it is, and saying so matters as much as flagging the ones that are not.
Taste cost: None
Option 2 · More curd, less rice−65
One katori of rice, one and a half of curd.
Better protein ratio, and arguably a better dish.
Taste cost: None
Option 3 · Add vegetables−0
Grated carrot, cucumber, pomegranate.
Adds fibre and texture for almost no calories. Standard in many households already.
